Chinese Idiom Congress
★ 9 · 2014 · Reality
The humanistic connotation carried by idioms is very rich and profound. A large number of idioms come from traditional classics, expressing the Chinese values of whether human relations are good or evil, and whether the realm is high or low. It can be called the "living fossil" of Chinese culture, it is worth promoting, and it is a precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation. Compared with the "Chinese Characters Dictation Competition", the "Chinese Idiom Congress" has incorporated more unique and diverse innovative ideas on the basis of retaining similar competition forms, and invited many heavyweights such as Bi Shumin, Meng Man, and Li Bo to participate in the contest. Cultural celebrities serve as judges, hoping to show the beauty of the unique context of Chinese idioms in detail.

Mastermind
1972 · ★ 5.7
Mastermind is a British quiz show, well known for its challenging questions, intimidating setting and air of seriousness. Devised by Bill Wright, the basic format of Mastermind has never changed — four and in later contests five contestants face two rounds, one on a specialised subject of the contestant's choice, the other a general knowledge round. Wright drew inspiration from his experiences of being interrogated by the Gestapo during World War II. The atmosphere is helped by Mastermind's famously ominous theme music, "Approaching Menace" by the British composer Neil Richardson. The quiz programme originated and was recorded in Manchester at studios such as New Broadcasting House and Granada Studios, before permanently moving to MediaCityUK in 2011.
